ABOUT VELLIANGIRI

The Velliangiri Mountains, with a height of 5833 feet, is a part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve.
It is situated at the Western Ghats of Coimbatore district, in Tamilnadu state, India.

Known as the "Sapthagiri, 7 Hills Mountains", these mountains are held high and revered spiritually. It is considered as the most powerful place . Also called as the Southern Kailash!
On the top of the Velliangiri Mountains, Shiva is worshipped as Swayambhu, one who is self-created!

Devotees undertake a spiritual journey to be in the grace of Shiva during the months of February to end of May. Especially during Shivarathri, it is looking like a colourful fair! There are devotees all over.
